Description:
This is a classic L&M cigarette pack for the Argentine market. The design retains the iconic L&M features of the red top band with gold and blue accents, as well as the traditional coat of arms logo with a crown. The front says that these are "Quality American Blend" cigarettes, and the back says the slogan „"Mellow. Distinctively Smooth."” The package has an Argentine excise sticker (Código No. 9) confirming its purpose for the local market.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. L&M is a very widespread international brand, so the main value comes from the specific regional version (Argentina) and period. The soft pack with the older design increases the collector appeal.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, in excellent condition. Package with full film and intact excise stamp.
-
Historical data and popularity: The L&M brand belongs to Philip Morris International and was one of their main brands in Latin America. The Argentine market often produced its own localized variants, which are now becoming interesting to collectors.
